A passenger in a Mercedes-Benz attempted to strangle a traffic police inspector in the city of Nizhnyaya Salda, located in the Sverdlovsk region, according to a report from the Telegram channel Ural Mash. The incident began after the officer noticed that the driver and two passengers were not wearing seat belts. Following the stop, the inspector detected the scent of alcohol inside the car and asked the driver to undergo a field sobriety test. At that moment, one of the passengers aggressively moved toward the officer and began choking him, triggering a dangerous confrontation.
The inspector managed to free himself and bring the situation under control. A criminal case was opened against the assailant for inflicting violence on a public official, while an administrative report was filed against the driver for failing to comply with the lawful demands of the police. The officer acted to ensure safety and uphold the law in a tense and potentially life-threatening moment.
Prior to this incident, a troubling sequence of events linked the group to a different area. It is reported that the driver appeared with the chief of a local highway in Bashkiria, and together with an accomplice, they captured two Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG vehicles, suggesting a broader pattern of alleged criminal activity connected to the same individuals.
In another alarming episode, a separate event described as a tank falling in Yakutsk involved a vehicle collapsing from a truck and crushing a Toyota car, illustrating a string of unusual and hazardous incidents that have drawn attention in recent days. The citywide and regional implications of these events underscore ongoing concerns about traffic safety and the behavior of drivers and passengers in high-pressure contexts. This sequence of reports highlights the need for heightened vigilance among law enforcement and the public as authorities investigate the alleged wrongdoing and work to prevent similar violence in the future.
